Giving All To God?!?!?!


The idea of giving all to God is not a troublesome idea, in fact many if not most would agree that the idea itself is not the problem. I want to give all to God, and I try with every being in my fiber, daily, to give all to God. It is, however, very problematic. For us to give all to God, would mean to lose all of ourselves. We may say that that is not an issue, but it is. I find C.S. Lewis’ excerpts very compelling. Ever since I was saved, I have been behind the scenes of the church, and have seen firsthand the mess. It is disappointing and disheartening to work for people who claim such authority, yet live as if they have no responsibility to anyone but themselves and the people of the church. They assume that God is behind them, just because they have the position of authority. On a personal level, I agree completely with C.S. Lewis, but have been worn by the years of ‘service’. I pray that all who read these excerpts will understand it in its entirety.
